[Review] Rhythm Sprout

System: Switch
Release Date: February 1, 2023
Developer: SURT
Publisher: tinyBuild

As the debut release from Norwegian developer SURT games, Rhythm Sprout’s creative concept has maintained my interest ever since its initial reveal, but how does its beat-based gameplay live up to the rest of the experience?
